Hi,

I am trying to create a timelion in Kibana 4.5.

.es(logstash\*) shows zero count. What will be the issue?

Do I need to change any settings?

the syntax is wrong

`.es(query)` ... so something like `.es(*)` should work  
if you want to query specific index you need to pass it in as second parameter:  
`.es(*, index=logstash-*)`

Thank You.

Finally fixed the issue. Used the syntax you mentioned & added 'timefield'.

right, if your timefield is not @timestamp (which is set as default) you'll need to set that as well.  
`.es(*, index=logstash-*, timefield=timestamp, metric=sum:bytes)`
